Instead of just one number, local NWS Weather Forecast Offices offer winter pages showing the full range of potential snow & ice scenarios, from low to high end! Find your local page here: weather.gov/prob-snow, and learn how to use the data: weather.gov/media/nws/Probab… .

A blizzard is defined by wind and visibility, not total snow accumulation! You can even have a blizzard without a single new flake falling. The biggest danger is whiteout conditions. Severe blowing snow causes severe disorientation in seconds, making travel nearly impossible.🌬️❄️
